0.08(y-4)+0.02y=0.18y-0.5

Solution for 0.08(y-4)+0.02y=0.18y-0.5 equation:

Simplifying
0.08(y + -4) + 0.02y = 0.18y + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
0.08(-4 + y) + 0.02y = 0.18y + -0.5
(-4 * 0.08 + y * 0.08) + 0.02y = 0.18y + -0.5
(-0.32 + 0.08y) + 0.02y = 0.18y + -0.5

Combine like terms: 0.08y + 0.02y = 0.1y
-0.32 + 0.1y = 0.18y + -0.5

Reorder the terms:
-0.32 + 0.1y = -0.5 + 0.18y

Solving
-0.32 + 0.1y = -0.5 + 0.18y

Solving for variable 'y'.

Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-0.18y' to each side of the equation.
-0.32 + 0.1y + -0.18y = -0.5 + 0.18y + -0.18y

Combine like terms: 0.1y + -0.18y = -0.08y
-0.32 + -0.08y = -0.5 + 0.18y + -0.18y

Combine like terms: 0.18y + -0.18y = 0.00
-0.32 + -0.08y = -0.5 + 0.00
-0.32 + -0.08y = -0.5

Add '0.32' to each side of the equation.
-0.32 + 0.32 + -0.08y = -0.5 + 0.32

Combine like terms: -0.32 + 0.32 = 0.00
0.00 + -0.08y = -0.5 + 0.32
-0.08y = -0.5 + 0.32

Combine like terms: -0.5 + 0.32 = -0.18
-0.08y = -0.18

Divide each side by '-0.08'.
y = 2.25

Simplifying
y = 2.25
